Game lagging/low frame rate fix

[Go-Chan]

i use a gaming laptop and since the game mostly uses CPU it can be quite taxing on the CPU causing the game to lag/low frame rate

found a fix by dedicating the game to the GPU by using the Nvidia Control Panel
how to:

Type "Nvidia Control Panel" in the windows search Bar.

Click on manage 3D settings.

Then click on the tab "Program settings".

Click on the Add button then find EDF 6, can also browse the documents to find the game.

once found then select the 2nd drop down and select "High Performance Nvidia Processor".

Then press apply, run the game and it should now be allot smoother for people with low end CPU but high end Graphics Cards


I found the fix through this video here:

edit:

was pointed out by a comment on another fix, will leave the comment below:

This should be standard practice on any system that has an integrated video device, as many games will default to the lower performance integrated graphics.

You can also do this in Windows by hitting the windows key, typing "Graphics," opening Graphics Settings, scrolling down to "choose an app to set preference," selecting "Desktop app" from the drop down menu, clicking Browse, navigating to the install folder, selecting the game's exe (in this case, edf6.exe,) and adding it. Then clicking on it in the list below, clicking "Options," and choosing "High performance," where your high performance video device should be listed. Then saving the settings.

If you have a laptop or desktop with integrated graphics and aren't sure a given game is correctly utilizing your video device, you should do this (or, in the case of nVidia at least, follow OP's steps) for every game.

Thankyou Defective Dopamine Pez Dispenser

This needs to be higher up. It makes a real difference and fixes a lot of problems my laptop was having.

Is there an AMD equivalent?
The game can drop FPS on 7800x3D on some later missions with hundreds of enemies.

I set the Nvidia control panel setting to 60fps and Maximum performance and that makes the game run amazing.

I've not too far in the game yet (I think only on mission 20 or so) but in the AMD Adrenaline settings I've gone and enabled Radeon Chill and set the min and max FPS sliders to 60 seemed to have helped with the lag on my Ryzen 7 7900x3D and RX 7900 XTX

After running the game for a while I can say this fixed my crash problem as well. I haven't crashed yet after changing the settings.

I don't support youtubers. But I will support a patch for the game. I'm waiting.
